The Fremont BBQ Extravaganza, a festival and fundraiser featuring Seattle’s largest BBQ competition, will be held Sunday, June 2, from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. at the corner of Dayton Ave. and 36th Street. The BBQ competition is sanctioned by the Northwest BBQ Association, and will benefit the Fremont Arts Council Solstice Parade. The event will feature the amateur BBQ teams competing for a $2,000 in prize money and a BBQ Smoker; BBQ demonstrations and samples; BBQ sauce tastings; a whole-hog pig roast; a mini-pancake eating contest; a bagel ring toss; a dog fashion show; local beer and spirits tastings; and music stages offering everything from bluegrass to rockabilly.

The BBQ championship is open to amateur teams of chefs, and it will be judged by the founders of the Pacific Northwest BBQ Association, all of whom have won numerous BBQ cooking competitions. To be a competitor you must join the Pacific Northwest BBQ Association at http://www.pnwba.com, and submit an application and fee.

The mini-pancake eating event will be judged on speed, not quantity. There will be a variety to choose from, such as regular, chocolate chip, and blueberry, all served with syrup and fresh whipped cream. The competitive age groups will be starting at 4 to 6 years old; 7 to 10 years old; 11 to 15 years old; and 16 and up.

The Dog Parade and fashion show will begin at 11:45 am. The owners of interested dog models can preregister morning of the event or just show up. Prizes will be donated by Petapoluza and Norm's Eatery.

The Whole Hog BBQ Meal consists of pulled pork, corn on the cob, coleslaw, Texas toast, pickle, marinated red onions, house BBQ sauce, Four Roses BBQ Sauce and a slice of fresh pie with whip. Limited quantities of Whole Hog will be available; purchasing the whole hog meal ahead of time is recommended.
